Discover Optical Ethernet Prepare your infrastructure for the broadband access challenge

There can be no doubt new bandwidth-consuming services will drive the evolution of telecommunication networks in coming years. The broadcasting of multiple highdefinition TV channels, distribution of high-quality video, and video communication represent just a few examples.

The diversity of IPTV content will increase, and watching TV will become more personalized, with the user, for example, being able to control the viewing angle in real time through a full 360 degrees. Virtualworld games where players are a virtual part of the game reality will extend entertainment services.

Support multimedia broadband with Optical Ethernet All of these services and applications have one thing in common. They require high bandwidth in both directions, downstream and upstream, and the highest degree of flexibility to fulfill fast-changing subscriber demands. It is becoming obvious that sooner or later, copper will reach its limits. Fiber will be the only medium which can cope with the enormous bandwidth demand, and fiber-to-thehome will be the infrastructure of choice for future telecommunication networks.

Range of possibilities to build an optical Ethernet network

Optimize your network infrastructure The aggregation network also has to cope with bandwidth increase and with a fast-changing subscriber and service landscape. A fully automated flexible high-capacity network is required. Underneath these new service offerings, cost reduction and simple network operation are also driving carriers to invest in a new infrastructure. Todays telecommunication landscape is versatile, competition is fierce and many non-telecom operators are pushing into the telecommunication market. Operators can only remain competitive if they can offer new services AND keep their operational costs to a minimum. A minimum OPEX means keeping the network as simple as possible, with minimum human intervention. This starts with the use of one single protocol in the access, aggregation and regional network. Over the past years, Ethernet has been established as THE protocol of choice. It is fully standardized, carrier-grade, and implemented in access and transport technologies of the Nokia Siemens Networks SURPASS portfolio. SURPASS thus stands for a comprehensive end-to-end solution for Optical Ethernet.

An optical and extended access (up to 100 km) leads to OPEX reduction. Power-consuming and floor spacerequiring network elements are placed only in the central offices, which are heavily reduced in number. A flexible multi-haul photonic (DWDM) network extends the L2 aggregation area. This simplifies network operations with the conversion of optical service to electrical only at service endpoints, and transparent transport of all services with carrier-grade performance monitoring. An extended-reach GPON access and a multi-haul Ethernet-over-photonic aggregation connect to an IP/ MPLS over DWDM core. The solution includes SURPASS hiX 57xx GPON, SURPASS hiD 6650/70 Ethernet aggregation and the SURPASS hiT 7300/7500 DWDM platform. The SURPASS hiT 70xx series, the cost-optimized Nokia Siemens Networks multi-service provisioning platform (MSPP), extends the concept of optical Ethernet to an SDH infrastructure. This MSPP portfolio provides a full variety of services from classic services up to full Ethernet support with the highest possible reliability, including full ASON/GMPLS support together with the core equipment.

Smoothly migrate to Optical Ethernet Today, access networks are mostly built on a copper infrastructure. However, the latest high-bandwidth DSL technologies such as VDSL2 already require fiber-to-the-curb deployments. VDSL2 networks can easily be upgraded to GPON by placing a passive optical splitter in the same site as the DSLAM. Leased-line services for business customers can be migrated to point-to-point optical Ethernet via native Ethernet, Ethernet over SDH or Ethernet over WDM. The extended reach of the access network, and the much higher bandwidth requirements, will result in higher capacity DWDM aggregation transporting multiple 1G/10G Ethernet signals. The capacity growth in access has to be supported by an efficient and automated high-speed core. A 40 Gbit/s DWDM transport service is gaining market share here already, while 100 Gbit/s technology is being readied for product development. Nokia Siemens Networks has proven that this technology can be deployed on todays DWDM 10 Gbit/s infrastructure, thus keeping future CAPEX investments to a minimum.
